The new school start times continue to divide Duxbury, as evidenced by the wide variety of responses from parents at a forum, held Monday at the high school.
“Tonight is a night for peo-ple to give us your input,” said facilitator Pat Jackman, who is a Duxbury resident himself. “We want to know how the process is going.”
Around 100 people at-tended the forum, held in the student lounge at Duxbury High School. The gathered
throng broke up into smaller groups, each with a member of the start time implementa-tion committee. Each group answered a series of questions about what parts of the change were working, which weren’t, and what could be done bet-ter.

Are swine flu fears spur-ring parents to keep their chil-dren out of school?
Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber said that the district hasn’t had any con-firmed cases of H1N1 virus, also known as the swine flu, according to the head nurse. However, that is likely a re-sult of doctors not testing for the flu, rather than students not having it. Doctors are telling anyone with “flu-like symp-toms” to stay home.
The flu fears may be cre-ating an absentee problem at the school. Skeiber said she analyzed numbers from Oct. 1 and compared them to Oct. 30, Nov. 2 and 3.
On Oct. 1, 2.8 percent of Chandler’s student population was absent. On the other three days, those numbers jumped to 12, 14 and 14 percent.
“We are certainly seeing some increases there,” Skeiber said.
Alden’s numbers were similar, going from one percent absent on Oct. 1 to 8, 19, and 16 percent. The high school’s numbers were slightly lower, and Skeiber said there has not been a change in the staff ab-
sentee rate so far.“Our head nurse is keeping
careful track of this,” she said, adding that she’s working on a letter that will go out to par-ents.
“A significant piece is keeping children home,” Skeiber said. Once students come down with the symp-toms, they’re supposed to stay home until they have a fever of less than 100 degrees, without the use of fever-reducing med-icine, for a period of 24 hours.
As H1N1 vaccines start to trickle in to Massachusetts, the
schools are trying to set up a clinic. The schools sent out a survey that recieved 700 hun-dred responses, saying parents preferred an after school clinic to a weekend one. Parents will be notified when a date is fi-nalized.
“We are constantly talking with our kids about coughing, not into your hands, into your sleeve, and being sure they wash their hands frequently,” Skeiber said. “Those things are always in our heads.”

The Alden Elementary School has been placed in a restructuring program because of low test scores among spe-cial education students –– al-though the district overall has met its goals under No Child Left Behind.
For the fifth year in a row, the special education sub group for grades 3-5 has failed to meet the federal standard known as adequate yearly progress in English language arts, Assistant Superintendent Edwin Walsh said last Wednes-day during his MCAS report to the School Committee. Al-though the middle school met their AYP goals this year, DMS remains in “corrective action” status because the target needs to be reached for two consecu-tive years before a school is re-moved from the federal watch list.
“As a district and a school, we’re meeting the mandate, but we need to continue to focus in on addressing the specific needs for our special needs students,” said Walsh. “We need to make sure they feel comfortable in this learn-ing environment.”
A restructuring plan can take many forms, including a government take over of the schools and a mass dismissal of all staff associated with MCAS. However, Duxbury has chosen the “fundamental re-forms” option, which includes a new co-teaching model, where special education teach-ers work in the classroom with mainstream teachers. There are also other programs, such as Response to Intervention, Six Traits Writing, the DESE Writing Workshop and differ-entiated instruction.
Walsh said that Duxbury is not the only high-performing school district that has strug-gles with MCAS testing in the special education subgroup. He also said that the MCAS is a particularly challenging test, and other states have lower standards when it comes to No
Child Left Behind. For exam-ple, South Carolina has what’s considered the strictest test in the nation, and over 80 percent of that state’s schools are con-sidered underperforming.
“No Child Left Behind disproportionately identifies quality schools as underper-forming,” he said. “Proficient is a pretty relative term. What is proficient in Massachu-setts looks different in other states.”
School Committee mem-ber Maureen Connolly said she looked at other districts in Massachusetts that were in a restructuring plan, and said they were “different socio-economic situations” than Duxbury.
“I am very concerned. It’s been five years,” she said. “I know that everybody’s work-ing hard, but we really need to get off that category.”
Alden Principal Christo-pher Trombly explained his school’s plan, and said there are about 60 special education students in co-taught classes on individual education plans, or IEPs. Then there are around 25 students above and beyond that who have other disabili-ties, who will get direct in-struction in a resource room setting –– although he stressed he didn’t know the exact num-bers off the top of his head. The co-teaching model is new at Alden this year. Trombly said that because the school has third and fifth graders in the same building, it triggers some of the MCAS subgroup reporting.
He said that the current fifth graders have made im-provements in their test scores since they last took the MCAS in third grade. He also said Alden students made more progress in AYP than schools like Scituate, Marshfield and Mansfield. He added this was true even for the special edu-cation subgroup.
For other schools, the MCAS related news was much sunnier.
“We set our goals very
high last year ... the good news is that we met our AYP,” said DMS Principal Blake Dalton.
DHS also met all of it’s MCAS and AYP goals –– in-cluding having all students pass the science part of the MCAS test.
“This is due in very large part to dedicated teachers who care about the kids,” said Prin-cipal Andrew Stephens.
However, parent Tracy Copp said she wasn’t satisfied with the scores.
“There is a lack of desire for all students in Duxbury to achieve excellence on stan-dardized tests,” said Copp, who said she has two chil-dren with learning disabilities. “This is saying that they will learn to adapt to failure.”
She said she felt district officials hadn’t done enough to bring parents into the con-versation about MCAS.
“Parents are the experts when it comes to their chil-dren,” she said. “We need to set our standards high.”

Songbird migration is over. The warblers, vireos and tanagers are mostly gone. As we know, the ones that stay all winter, the chickadees, titmice, woodpeckers,
cardinals, etc. have gone into deep undercover like CIA agents. With my feeders empty and deserted, I hit the beach. It isn’t too early for a premature Snowy Owl to show up at High Pines. There could be Harlequin Ducks off the Gurnet. Loons in the bay, even Snow Buntings in the dunes. So I hit the beach and
there they were: Snow Buntings!Snow Buntings are sparrows
from the Arctic. They breed there and when summer is over they move south. Some years they make it to southern
Massachusetts and to Duxbury Beach. These are birds of open spaces and long views so the cold winds and blowing snow of our winter beach are balmy breezes and tropical sunshine to them.
These are incredibly cute birds. They are pure white in the Arctic breeding grounds but when they reach us in November they have acquired patches of warm brown on the face and black on the wings and tails. Once here they hunker down in the dunes and feed off of the seeds of the grasses and weeds. When you disturb them they fly in quick, darting flocks that seem to roll over like snow blowing across the beach. When they fly, their cry is a sweet call.
Like the canary in the mines, Snow Buntings can alert us when their habitat is threatened. Lately, global warming has caused early thawing of the tundra causing woody plants to thrive. The open spaces are being replaced with tall plants and Snow Buntings don’t do trees. They have declined 64 percent in 40 years. For millions of years these birds have adapted to their habitat. They don’t lay their eggs on the ground as most tundra birds do; they lay them in the crevices of rocks where it is safer even though that means it is harder to keep them warm. So, the male bird feeds the female so she can sit on the eggs 24/7. Getting dad to serve breakfast in bed every day is one adaptation even we humans haven’t managed. Yet global warming is threatening them every day.
To see these little guys, just drive down to the beach and watch for small flocks of little white birds with soft brown patches. Listen for their call. Put Snow Buntings on your life list!

On Oct. 21, people from all around the South Shore gathered at The Winery 53 in Pembroke for an opportunity to meet Senator Scott Brown who is running for U.S. Sen-ate. Many Duxbury residents were in attendance.
The event was spon-sored by the Duxbury Re-publican Town Committee, along with several the Re-publican Town Committees from Marshfield, Pembroke, Hanson and Halifax, and the Plymouth GOP.
The Parent Connection and Bay Farm Montessori Acade-my are pleased to host Howard Gardner, well-known author, Harvard professor, and research psychologist, for a presenta-tion, “The Well-Rounded, Cu-rious Mind -- Preparing Your Child for the Future.” Based on his new book “Five Minds for the Future,” this event will take place on Thursday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Duxbury High School Auditorium. A 7 p.m. reception will precede Gardner’s talk.
Howard Gardner reached the level of recognition of great educators such as Piaget,
Kant, Dewey, Montessori and Vygotsky when he advanced his theory of multiple intel-ligences, a critique of the no-tion that there exists a single human intelligence that can be assessed by standard psycho-metric instruments. Professor Gardner will touch on “Mul-tiple Intelligence Theory” and explore the thought-provoking concepts that he proposes in his newest book, “Five Minds for the Future.” He will outline the specific cognitive abilities that will be sought both in the work force and the leadership of the future. Attendees will discover how Gardner’s five
ways of thinking are vital in a world of limitless information and rapid change - and learn how to cultivate this thinking in our children, our students, and in ourselves.
The author of over twenty books translated into twenty-seven languages, Gardner is a professor at Harvard Univer-sity’s Graduate School of Edu-cation. His is also a past re-cipient of both MacArthur and Guggenheim awards. Building on his studies of intelligence, Gardner has also authored “Leading Minds,” “Changing Minds,” and “Extraordinary Minds.” For more informa-tion about Gardner, please visit howardgardner.com.
Tickets for this event are $7 each, and $5 for teachers. Tickets can be purchased at Westwinds Bookshop, Food-ie’s, the Duxbury Free Library, Bay Farm Montessori Acade-my, or online at: theparentcon-nection.org.

The Duxbury Beach Book is available at Westwinds Bookshop, Borders at Independence Mall, at 781-934-2907, or via our website: www.duxburybeach.com. All proceeds support the long-term
preservation of Duxbury Beach for future generations!Duxbury Beach is owned and managed by the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., a Massachusetts charitable corporation, in cooperation with the town of Duxbury.
Welcome to Duxbury BeachEach summer, the Duxbury Beach
Reservation, Inc., funds a monitor-ing program for piping plovers, small shorebirds protected by both state and federal endangered species law. The monitoring program is part of a delicate balancing act that enables the Reservation to simultaneously provide a recreational beach for people and a safe haven for wildlife. The piping plovers face many chal-lenges, from storm waves that wash away nests to natural predators to unleashed dogs.
The birds return to Massachusetts from the southeastern U.S. and Gulf Coast in late March. All fence and dune repair, grass planting, and road grading must be completed by April 1 when nesting begins.
The plover eggs, which look like little round stones, are very difficult to find in the cobble and are thus vul-nerable to being accidently stepped on by people or dogs. Endangered Species Officer Mike Pforr and wildlife biologists from Mass Audu-bon close off areas of plover habitat with symbolic fencing – metal stakes with orange twine and signage. When
Mike and the biologists locate a clutch of eggs, they might
decide to enclose the nest with additional mesh fencing. You may have
noticed these “cages,” which offer protection from predators such as skunks but may
attract others such as crows. Full-time monitoring begins once
fails, plovers may re-nest, sometimes 3 or 4 times. On Duxbury Beach, 10 pairs of plovers made 23 nest attempts. Of those, 6 nests were washed out, 12 were lost to preda-tion, and 2 to unknown causes. The three successful nest attempts pro-duced a total of 12 chicks, but only 4 of those survived to fledge (fly), making our “fledge rate” a disap-pointing 0.4 chicks per pair. Usually our fledge rate is between 1 and 2 chicks per pair.
The monitoring program is both intensive and expensive, but without it, Duxbury Beach would be closed to vehicles from April through August. That is why the Reservation works so closely with the state, the town, and Mass Audubon to protect the birds. So, next time you are required to drive 5 miles per hour or told you can’t park on your favorite part of the beach or asked to leash your dog, understand that the monitors are
only enforcing the rules that allow the beach to be open for all of us to enjoy. (Photo credit for plover photo: Mass Audubon Staff)
eggs are laid. On a hot summer day, if the adult plover is disturbed and leaves the nest, the eggs can die in as little as 15 minutes! When the eggs hatch, around 26 days later, two shifts of monitors are assigned to watch over each family of chicks from morning till night. Newly hatched chicks are up and running, sometimes moving over half a mile in their first day of life to find food. When the birds leave the nest area, monitors have to warn nearby beach-goers. If the birds cross the beach road, the monitors have to stop traffic. It’s a difficult task, because the fast-moving baby birds are hard to see, and people often don’t understand why the monitors must be so strict.
Despite the best efforts of Mike and his monitors, rainy weather and late storms made 2009 a bad year for piping plovers. When a nest

This year, award-winning puppeteer Wayne Martin will expertly manipu-late his beautifully crafted over-sized hand puppets and marionettes in “Santa’s North Pole Express.” Everyone will have the opportunity to meet a variety of Arctic characters including Frosty, Rudolph, Elmer Elf, Peter and Penelope
Penguin, dancing candy canes and Martin’s trademark jug-gling Christmas tree which breathlessly lights up and illu-minates the way for the jolly old elf, himself.
Martin, an Emmy Award nominee, has toured nation-ally with the Heiken Puppets, Sid and Marty Krofft and ap-peared in feature films with Jim Henson’s Muppets. “I recommend The Wayne Mar-tin Puppets, I was impressed with how clear and accessible everything was,” says the Di-rector of the Cincinnati Sym-phony Orchestra.
The performance is a pop-ular tradition at First Night in Boston and is recommended for grades K through 6. All children should be accompa-nied by an adult. Two perfor-mances are offered at 1:30-2:45 p.m. They are open to the public, free of charge. The program is part of the town-wide event, the Duxbury Busi-ness Association’s Holly Day, which offers free entertain-ment for all ages from noon until dusk. Three trolleys will link the museum to other ven-ues in town.

Priscilla Rich-ardson Sangster, a long-time Duxbury resident, died Nov. 2 in Hightstown, NJ, after a long ill-ness. She would have been 88 on Nov. 4. She was a well-known figure in Duxbury, where for 19 years she
was managing editor of The Clipper.Mrs. Sangster was born in 1921 in Maple-
wood, NJ, the third of four children of Eliza-beth and Percy Bacon Richardson. Her father was a direct descendent of Priscilla Alden, af-ter whom Priscilla was named. She graduated from Columbia High School, N.J. Following her graduation and during WWII, she worked for the Red Cross and was a member of the Ju-nior League. She married Daniel Hill Sangster of Los Angeles in 1950, and the couple lived in New York City, where their daughter Rebecca was born in 1956.
Mrs. Sangster worked in the New York City for Arthur Flynn Associates, sports publicists, where she handled accounts for baseball great Willie Mays and the restaurateur Toots Shor.
In Greenwich Village in the 50’s, she and her husband and other Adlai Stevenson Demo-crats collectively became known as the Village Independent Democrats, campaigning for local issues. Mrs. Sangster’s civic activity and her work as a part-time librarian at PS41 when her
daughter Rebecca attended school there made Mrs. Sangster a familiar face on W. 10th Street, where the Sangsters lived in a brownstone once owned by Mark Twain.
In 1963, the Sangsters relocated to Dux-bury. Her 19-year tenure as the Clipper’s man-aging editor put her at the hub of Duxbury news, which she loved. She was a charter member of the Clamshell Alliance, a grassroots group that campaigned successfully against allowing the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant to be con-structed on land adjacent to the Myles Standish National Monument. As a member of the Alden Kindred Society, she worked for many years to preserve Priscilla and John’s Pilgrim homestead. She was a member of the Duxbury Art Association, the Duxbury Yacht Club, and Pilgrim Church of Duxbury.
In retirement, the Sangsters lived briefly in New Bern, N.C., and Camden, S.C. After her husband died in 2000, Mrs. Sangster returned to live in Duxbury until 2004 when she moved to the Meadow Lakes community near Princ-eton to be closer to her daughter.
Mrs. Sangster leaves her daughter, Becky and son-in-law, Stephen Lewis; a sister, Betty R. Moran, of Annapolis, Md.; her two broth-ers, the late David Bacon Richardson and John Adams Richardson; and two grandsons.
A.S. Cole Sons & Co., Cranbury, NJ, is handling funeral arrangements, and a memorial service will be held in Duxbury. Donations in Mrs. Sangster’s name may be made to the NY Public Library, Stephen A. Schwarzman Build-ing, 476 Fifth Ave., NY, NY 10018.

Madeline Ann (Pimental)Cushing of Plymouth, former-ly of Duxbury, died Nov.6 at Jordan Hospital at the age of 86. She was born in Plymouth and graduated from Plymouth High School. She had lived in Plymouth for five years af-ter living in Duxbury for 55 years. She enjoyed sewing, knitting, quilting, cake deco-rating and cooking, especially her famous tortellinis.
Mrs. Cushing was the wife of the late Roger C. Cushing Sr. She leaves her sons, Brad-ford C. Cushing of Plymouth and the late Roger Cushing Jr.;
her daughter Cynthia M. Law-rence of Plymouth; her brother Richard “Mousey” Pimental of Plymouth; five grandchildren, three great grandchildren and her daughter-in-law Gladys Cushing of Plymouth.
A funeral mass was held on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at St. Mary’s Church followed by burial at Mayflower Cemetery in Duxbury. In lieu of flow-ers, donations in her memory may be made to Cranberry Hospice, 36 Cordage Park Cr, Suite 326, Plymouth, MA 02360.

Joseph Q. Guccione, 62, of Duxbury, died at home on Nov. 3 of complications of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, commonly called Lou Gehrig’s Disease. He was a graduate of Bent-ley University with a degree in accounting. He worked for nearly forty years in fund account-ing and financial management for independent schools.
Mr. Guccione’s early career included positions with the Massachusetts Division of the American Heart Association and its Boston Chapter; Fam-ily Services of Greater Boston; The United Way of Mass Bay and Cardinal Cushing Industries of Hanover.
In l993 the family became Duxbury sum-mer residents when Mr. Guccione was appointed Director of Finance and Operations for the Win-chester Thurston School in Pittsburgh, a position he subsequently held at the Kent Place School, Summit, N.J., beginning in 1997. During his ten-ure at Winchester Thurston, he rowed competi-tively with the Masters Division of Three Rivers Rowing Association, served as a member of its board of directors and assisted the school’s row-ing program. He returned to Boston as Chief Fi-nancial officer for the Winsor School until his ill-ness forced an early retirement in 2008. He was a board member of the National Business officers Association and member of the Bentley Univer-sity Executive Club.
Mr. Guccione was an avid sportsman and community volunteer. In the mid-seventies, he spent weekends as a skydiving jumpmaster/instructor at Parachutes Inc., in orange, Mass. While chairman of the Duxbury Yacht Club’s
Waterfront Committee and New England Opti-mist Dinghy Association, he and his wife were instrumental in introducing the boats to Duxbury and organizing the town’s first New England opti regatta. Additional volunteer work included the uS Rowing Association; the Catboat Association; Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, Duxbury Art Association, The Art Complex Museum and St. John’s Episcopal Church.
Mr. Guccione leaves his wife Leslie Davis Guccione; his sons, Christopher J. Guccione and wife Lisa (McCauley) of Holliston, and Taylor N. Guccione of Duxbury and Mammoth Lakes, Calif.; his daughter, Amy MacMillan and hus-band Robert of Newport, R.I.; his parents, Geral-dine Mendenhall Guccione and the late Quentin Guccione, DDS of Needham; his brother, Gary A. Guccione of Millis; his sisters, Rosemarie Winters of Central, S.C. and Karen Czubik of Franklin; and four grandchildren.
In hopes that he could further research and understanding of ALS, Mr. Guccione donated his brain tissue and spinal cord to the Brain Tis-sue Center of Harvard Medical School/Massa-chusetts General Hospital.
A memorial service was held at the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist, Duxbury, on Nov. 10. Burial will be private. In lieu of flow-ers, donations may be made in his name to the Town of Duxbury’s King Caesar Fund for medi-cal emergency financial assistance, the ALS As-sociation, Massachusetts chapter, or Cranberry Hospice of Jordan Hospital. Arrangements by the Shepherd Funeral Home.
Richard C. Turner, 90 of Halifax, died Tuesday, Nov. 3 at Kindred Acute Care Hos-pital in Stoughton after a long illness.

Duxbury resident Donna MacLeod celebrated the pub-lication of her first book, “Be-tween Two Souls,” at a recep-tion on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at Westwinds Bookshop in Hall’s Corner. MacLeod signed cop-ies of her book and greeted the nearly 65 well-wishers who gathered at the evening event.
Exploring the theme of man’s eternal search for spiritu-al enlightenment, MacLeod re-affirms the power of faith, mind and love, and brings peace and hope to those who have lost loved ones in “Between Two Souls.” This new book aims to deliver supporting evidence of life after death.
Personal tragedy inspired MacLeod to write this mysti-cal, narrative nonfiction of loss, love and afterlife spanning eighty-five years. “Between Two Souls” paints a complex and controversial portrait of a family’s inner struggles after the loss of a loved one. The reader is taken into the heart and mind of a mother who en-dures the death of her son. She shares a twisting journey back to sanity with her husband, and the author, her surviving child. Together, they search for expla-nations to unravel an intricate pattern of unusual, paranormal
occurrences that are more com-plicating than they could have imagined.
The spirituality genre, an emerging market, has been sweeping the nation since the early 1980s. What makes this book so unique is the approach the author takes in delivering the story. MacLeod leaves the interpretation of the events to the reader, and allows them to assemble the puzzle accord-ing to their own personal be-liefs. She also dissects the anat-omy of grief, love, loss, and the
mind-body relationship. MacLeod’s life has been
characterized by many traumat-ic, mystical and glorious events. These events have greatly in-fluenced the evolution of her spiritual character and views of life after death. The mother of three lives with her family in Duxbury.
Anyone interested in order-ing a copy of “Between Two Souls,” can call 781-934-2128 or e-mail [email protected]

his dog Zar, participated in a number of training scenarios, including tracing an Alzheim-er’s patient who has wandered off, searching for a man lost in the woods, and going house to house looking for a criminal.
Cavicchi said he’s often asked if the dog knows if it’s looking for a lost child or a dangerous criminal when he’s on the job.
“The answer to that is they don’t know,” he said. “It’s up to our training ... it’s black and white in their world.”
K9 officers are required to complete 16 hours a month of training, Cavicchi said. Thurs-day’s event was the first time the training has taken place in Duxbury, the sessions are usu-ally at the Bridgewater Cor-rectional Facility or in Barn-stable.
As budget cuts hit sheriff
departments and towns like Duxbury, regionalizing re-sources, including specialty units like K9 officers, is be-coming more important. Dux-bury is part of a regional group of 43 communities. A town facing a scenario where dogs are needed for a grid search or a pursuit can call on other towns for mutual aid, Cavicchi said.
“We’re going to give every resource we have,” he said.
Cavicchi has been work-ing with Zar for six years. He, like most dog officers, thinks of his canine as a partner –– a partner with a valuable and specialized set of skills.
“The dogs can do a lot more than humans,” he said. “If the person went into the water, the dog will bring you right into the water.”
Zar (wearing a muzzle) attacks a “criminal” (actually Rockland K9 officer Geoff Lucas, being a very good sport) to demonstrate how a dog can be used to corral a fleeing suspect.
Police dogs train at Camp Wing
Duxbury K9 officer Ryan Cavicchi and Zar prepare for a training exer-cise at Camp Wing on Thursday.

ipating in an assessment center similar to the process Duxbury will use.
Doherty was drawn to law enforcement because it’s not a typical 9-5 job.
“You get to meet all kinds of people,” he said. “There’s always something new.”
He said that it takes a cer-tain kind of person to be a po-lice officer.
“Law enforcement re-quires people who are com-passionate,” he said. “You tend to meet people at their worst rather than at their best.”
He said that, as a chief, this is the attitude he tries to instill in his officers.
“If your family member was across the border in an-other town, how would you want them treated if they had an encounter with police?” he said.
Doherty described his management style as “listen-ing first.”
“I try to be very approach-able and reasonable,” he said. “I’m here very early in the morning. My door is rarely closed.”
Doherty is facing a unique situation as he takes over the reins as Duxbury’s head po-lice officer. He will work with Steve Unsworth and the BadgeQuest firm, along with Town Manager Richard MacDonald, as the commu-nity searches for a permanent replacement to DeLuca. At most, his stay in Duxbury will be five or six months.
“I will have some first hand, independent knowl-edge ... for the next chief,” he said. “I’m looking at the department differently as an outsider.”
However, he sees him-
self as more than just a seat warmer. Doherty believes he can be a “stabilizing influ-ence” on the department in the wake of what’s been a messy break with the former chief.
“That was an unusual situ-ation,” he said. “That change ... doesn’t usually invoke that kind of public emotion.”
Similar to when he took over in Wakefield, Doherty will be coming into a new situation, with an established department that has its own command structure.
“Everyone was doing what they were doing before I got here,” he said. “Right now what I’m doing is learn-ing names and faces.”
Doherty says he doesn’t see his role as a passive one, and said there are some “stra-tegic changes” he may imple-ment –– but there is a balanc-ing act that has to be handled delicately.
Being a chief includes many responsibilities, includ-ing managing personnel.
“It’s like a stew, things are always in motion,” he said.
Despite his open door pol-icy, Doherty said he wants to
make sure the procedures of the department are followed. He wants to have open com-munication without making his office “a complaint win-dow.”
“Contracts are hard won documents,” he said. “They stand for something on both sides.”
Although Duxbury will likely have a new chief by Town Meeting time, part of Doherty’s responsibilities will be financial. He has ex-perience working with an open Town Meeting in Wake-field.
“You better have some-thing to ask them for or you’re not going to get it,” he said of preparing a budget.
He also is already looking at grants for the department.
Duxbury, like many po-lice departments in the South Shore, is facing financial challenges. Doherty said he has already met with Fire Chief Kevin Nord about the possibility of regionalizing some services –– something he feels should be consid-ered, but not rushed into.
“It is an expensive, labor intensive process,” he said. “The goal is to have better cheaper service.”
He will also be involved in the drive for a new police station, which he feels would go a long way toward im-proving morale in the depart-ment.
“Clearly a new facility is needed, I have no doubt about that,” he said. “The building is not cheery.”
Overall, Doherty hopes to be able to offer some insight as the town moves forward.
“The blessing and the curse may be that it’s short term,” he said. “I want to pro-vide stable, balanced leader-ship in the short term.”

Low to moderate income seniors aged 60 or older as well as other low income prop-erty owners may be eligible to receive an exemption from the three percent Community Pres-ervation Act (CPA) surcharge.
To qualify for this exemp-tion, the income from the ap-plicant’s family members that live at home must be below the maximum income levels that are presented on the chart. To receive this exemption, an application must be filed an-nually. For the current fiscal year (FY2010), an applicant must verify the income or ex-penses claimed by including copies of their federal and state tax returns and/or other docu-ments to verify any income or expenses claimed.
Those who are interested in filing an application to be exempted from the three per-cent Community Preservation
Act surcharge, must do so by mid-March 2010.
Application forms are available at the Assessing De-partment office, 781-934-1100 x115, or online at the Assess-ing Department page of the Duxbury website: town.dux-bury.ma.us.
Those who are currently participating in one of the Town’s other tax exemption programs (e.g. disabled vet-
erans and senior citizens) au-tomatically receive the CPA exemption. Therefore these individuals do not need to file a CPA exemption application.
The Assessing Department staff would be pleased to sit down in a confidential man-ner with any person who is hesitant or unsure about how to go about applying for the program.

Midge’s Attic, an outreach project of St. John’s Guild in Duxbury, is the clothes closet at the Brockton Department of Social Services office which serves all of southeastern Mas-sachusetts.
Since many children are brought into fos-ter care with few, if any, belongings and often move from one foster home to another with all of their possessions in a plastic bag, we support Midge’s Attic by collecting backpacks and fill-ing them with age-appropriate belongings for these children in need. Gently used and new clothing and bags of all types are needed.
Below is a list of new or gently used items that we are looking to have donated. Ages are
bottles and diapers/wipes.• Gently used clothing, backpacks, diaper
bags, duffle bags, blankets and books.Any of these items are welcome … or pack
your own backpack and drop it off. A monetary donation for the purchase of
clothing and other needed items is always ap-preciated.
Donations may be dropped off at St. John’s during the week to the Parish office.

younger children said their Al-den students were cranky and had difficult getting up in the morning –– others said they were finding more time to play in the afternoon.
The reactions of parents varied dramatically. One par-ent called the change “a 10” and said it was working per-fectly for their family. Others called the decision’s effect “torture” and said the time change was affecting the way they parented.
Overall, however, the crowd seemed to be split along school lines.
“Those with children Al-den-age and older were hap-py, and those with Alden and Chandler students were not,” said ML Nichols of her group.
Many parents complained about the negativity this split was causing in the commu-nity.
“The pitting of one school community against the oth-er, that was the one thing the group did not want to happen,” said Ann Weld.
Even the anecdotal evi-dence of the change’s effect seemed difficult to pin down.
“If the purpose of the change was that the students would get more sleep –– it
hasn’t done that,” said Lisa LeClerc. Still others said their high school age students did seem to be getting more sleep.
Although most of the dis-cussion was about ways to
make time change implemen-tation better, some parents did return to the way the start time was voted in the spring.
“Our group wondered, would there be less anger if
the change had been done dif-ferently, and moving forward, what should be done to mend fences,” said Alden Principal Christopher Trombly.
At the forum’s end, some parents asked if the school start times could go back to the way they were. Superintendent of Schools Susan Skeiber said she would be willing to re-evaluate the change, but that two - three years would be needed to see if things were working. She did say, howev-er, that the district was willing to make small-scale changes, noting that there may be a further adjustment to the high school start time.
“To switch now ... that’s not going to happen,” she said. “There was a decision made, we need some time to look at this.”

Reaction widely mixed on start time continued from page one
The Duxbury High School student lounge was filled with parents who wanted their voices to be heard on the school start time change.
Sharon Pisani writes down her group’s thoughts and concerns at Monday night’s start time forum. Reaction of parents to the school start time change was widely varied, and seemed divided among parents with Alden age students, who thought the change wasn’t working, and parents of older students, who approved of the move.
FORUM HIGHLIGHTS
From those who felt the change was working:• Older students sleeping more during week, less on weekends• Older students eating breakfast• Alden students having more afternoon play time• Younger students having more time with family• Duxbury Student Union programs have been well-utilized• Most athletics unaffectedFrom those who felt the change wasn’t working:• Alden students having dif-ficulty waking up; napping to catch up on sleep• Older students finding
afternoon time ‘compressed’• High School students late for afternoon jobs• Alden students waiting in PAC in the morning• Morning traffic heavy, may be from Alden parents driv-ing• Family routines disruptedSuggestions on how to improve the transition:• Making St. George Street one way• Working with a logistics expert on the buses• Examine a “sleep for all” solution• Fundraise privately for more buses• More community surveys

At the oct. 20 meeting, Ken and Rhonda Kaplan of the Sharon Rotary Club made a very informative pre-sentation of what can be loaded into a plastic box.
The contents, necessities for sustaining life, go to people who are confronting disasters which the world encounters, on aver-age, every six to eight weeks. Ken and Rhonda are speaking to Rotary Clubs, schools, and various groups to raise funds to be used wherever needed. Because of Rotary’s connection at most disaster sites, aid can be sent within 24 hours. One tent can house 10 people for six months. Out of every dollar spent, $.92 goes to the cause because everyone involved is a volunteer. The Kaplans were the guest of Past President Bruce Rutter. Any-one caring to donate to the cause should contact Club President George Prebola at 781-934-5231.
The Club is planning for the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony to be held at the Town Green on Sunday, Nov. 29.

Anne Antonellis is extremely in-volved in many as-
pects of Duxbury. She is the owner of Duxbury Mortgage Services located in Hall’s Cor-ner, but her involvement goes far beyond her career. She is the president of the Duxbury Business Association, a mem-ber of the Economic Advisory Committee, board of direc-tors of the Council on Aging, the board of directors for the Alden House, and a member of the South Shore Chamber Women’s Business Connec-tion.
What is your back-ground?
My husband, Steve, and I are both graduates of Duxbury High School. I also graduated from Regis College with a de-gree in economics. I just sort of fell into banking. I started in the mortgage industry in 1985 and opened my own business in 2002. I have two daughters, both DHS gradu-ates (only our cat is not a DHS grad!). Chrissy is a senior at U Mass Amherst, and Danielle is a sophomore at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Tell me about your busi-ness, Duxbury Mortgage Services.
I started Duxbury Mort-gage Services back in 2002 because I wanted to offer a “boutique-style” mortgage business alternative. That is, my customers deal with just one person, not multiple de-partments. We write strictly residential mortgages. I have been in the mortgage industry since 1985 and really pride myself on staying up on all the changes in my industry and, in the last few years, it’s con-stant. I have been very lucky to be able to have my office in Duxbury where I live so I can be close to my family and involved in the town happen-ings. The biggest challenge being a smaller company is to stay on top of the new bank-ing compliance issues, but I do it by keeping involved in my industries associations. I have two employees, Mary Al-ice Scanlon, my assistant, and Timothy Driscoll, the mort-gage originator.
What is the Duxbury Business Association and who is involved?
The DBA is a group of business owners, retail and professional, that have a tie to Duxbury. The members are either are residents or own businesses in the town. Over 90 businesses are members of the DBA. We meet monthly, and find ways to promote our services and give back to the community. Our biggest event is Holly Days. In addition, we sponsor the Edward Barnard (“Barney”) scholarship, given to a student entering a business school or on a vocational track. The DBA is also involved in supporting other non-profit organizations in town such as the Duxbury Student Union, which has a student leader pro-gram. Participants, upon their graduation from the program, are issued certificates by mem-bers of the DBA.
What is Holly Days, and how is the planning going?
This year will be the fifth annual Holly Days. It liter-ally started with a dream I had, where there were trolleys driv-ing around Duxbury celebrat-ing the winter holidays. So I woke up, and said, why not? Holly Days combines the joy of the holiday season with shopping locally. This year’s Holly Days is on Nov. 29 from
12-4 p.m. We are in the final stages of planning and are in-cluding new venues as well as the favorites from years past. We will have pony rides, a hay ride, Santa, the Children’s Hospital Bloodmobile, trolleys with carolers, face painting, etc. Even the Post Office will be taking passport pictures. At the end of it all, the Rotary Club will host the annual tree lighting on the Town Green.
How can the community get involved?
Come! And bring your friends and family from all over. Enjoy the day and visit the local retail shops that day and all holiday season! Most businesses in town are small, and in today’s economic en-vironment, we need local sup-port. If anyone would like to volunteer, call me at Duxbury Mortgage Services. We’re still looking for more trolley sing-ers!
What do you like to do in your free time?
What’s that? Seriously, I love to read, spend time with close friends, and I spend a lot of time traveling to WPI to watch my daughter’s field hockey games. I am very in-volved in all these town com-mittees, which doesn’t give me much free time, but this is what I love.

On Oct. 17, Pilgrim Church of Duxbury held its first CROP
Hunger Walk. The goal of the walk was to raise funds for global, national and local hun-ger relief programs. We would like to thank all of the families and friends who walked, vol-unteered and supported this ef-fort. We were very appreciative of the help we received from Town Hall as our planning pro-gressed. Our request to conduct the walk was processed quickly and efficiently by the office of the Selectmen. It was a pleasure working with Barbara Ripley, executive assistant to the Se-lectmen, and Lt. Roger Banfill of the police department. We
thank them for their time, ad-vice and assistance. Communi-ties Responding to Overcome Poverty is a program sponsored by Church World Service for the benefit of those struggling to meet life’s basic necessi-ties. It was an exciting day for
all the participants, walking in their behalf. We are grateful to all of those who made it such a success.

aid discussionOne of the unfortunate side effects of the turmoil
over former police chief Mark DeLuca that isn’t being talked about, is that the state’s Open Meeting
Law is being left by the wayside. An increase in the size of the Board of Selectmen, however, may go a long way toward fixing the problem.
Members of the board have openly admitted, all throughout the process, that they have spoken on the phone about town business. When there is a three member board, two members constitute a quorum, and even a quick pre-meeting phone call is a violation of the Open Meeting Law.
This may seem harsh. Some residents may believe two members of a governmental board should be able to talk about town matters outside a publicly posted meeting. And they have a point. The problem, however, is that on a three-member committee, two people can make a decision. That simple phone call can seriously undermine the democratic process. It’s why Duxbury should take a very hard look at increasing the number of selectmen to five.
A five member board would allow for more perspectives, and therefore more discussion, on important issues. Because of the Town Manager Act, Duxbury’s selectmen are policy setters, not day-to-day managers. And the more voices this town has setting policy the better.
Duxbury has been lucky to have always had quality officals. But a three-member Board of Selectmen creates a situation where two people can set the agenda for a whole community. This town has some difficult decisions to make in the future, and the more heads put together to problem-solve the better.
–– J. Graeber
Board should stand firm
News broke last week that former police chief Mark DeLuca and his attorney were asking the town to reopen negotiations, after DeLuca failed to sign a
previous settlement agreement that was later rescinded by the selectmen.
Going back to the table at this point would be a mistake and an egregious waste of taxpayer money. DeLuca should be paid what he is owed for his outstanding vacation time, but giving away additional money when his contract is set to expire Nov. 20 is not a good business decision.
The town manager was well within his rights not to renew DeLuca’s contract, as even the former chief’s supporters have admitted. Fear of litigation should not be driving policy decisions of the Board of Selectmen. The right thing to do is to stand by the Town Manager Act. We urge the selectmen to move on, and to focus their efforts on finding the right chief for Duxbury’s future.

Let’s move on to real issues ———————
People, people please! From the paid two-page advertisement
in last week’s Clipper: “The plight of Alden families is sig-nificant.” Plight!? When I see the word plight, I think of the people of Darfur or many such places in the world where their plight is no education and no food and pain and suffering that most of us living in this idyllic community can barely fathom. “No sleep studies have been conducted on Alden-age childen” –– maybe because their has been no problem identified like there has been
with older students, not just in this community but else-where in the commonwealth and US; with reports showing vast improvements with later start times. And to the writer of “time change makes kids tired,” I can only say that per-haps they can try getting them to bed at 7:30-8 p.m. instead of 8-8:30 p.m. As to “working in a tired state is a skill high school students can handle and need to master if they want to function in today’s society”!? This is precisely what the sleep studies found/why the change was made –– No, they
should not work in a tired state if grades and functioning well matter. These high school kids have after school sports, activi-ties and jobs that keep them at school/work for up to 12 hours a day then add a few hours of homework. This is why this was done. And yes, as the ad-vertisement states we are fac-ing much larger issues –– sig-nificant budget constraints, and declining quality of education. So yes, can we please move on and address these more press-ing issues now?

Giving thanks – it’s such an impor-tant part of who we all are. From saying “thanks” to a host, to cele-
brating Thanksgiving for all that we have, say-ing “thanks” is one of the things that makes us human.
I’m writing this during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Sukkot is a harvest holiday, when Jews traditionally give thanks for the incoming harvest of the year. Traditions include living outside in a “Sukkah” – a booth that reminds us that we are connected to nature, to every-thing around us, and waving a luluv and etrog – plants and a fruit – in all directions, to show that we, and the bounty of nature, know that God is everywhere.
Sukkot is the original holiday of thanks-giving – many people say that this is the ori-gin of the pilgrim’s American Thanksgiving holiday! Saying “thank you” is a basic part of Judaism. Appreciating the world; and appreci-ating that we are given so much. Jewish tra-dition has blessings to teach us to appreciate every moment. We have blessings for when we wake, sleep, eat, and use the bathroom. There are others three times a day to make us aware of the natural world, for when we see the sun rise, begin to set, and when we see three stars at night.
Saying “thanks” reminds us that we did not
cause, that we did not create, what we receive. We’re not “entitled” to a perfect sunset, to de-licious food. The food came from the work of many: from the farmer, from the transporter, from the seller. And, ultimately, it was cre-ated by the same One who creates the miracle of the sunset every day,
who also provided for rain and sunshine.Prayer is so much about thanks; about real-
izing that we have much to be grateful for. I hope you’ll all join me and Congregation Shi-rat Hayam at the Open Doors on Nov. 15, when we will give a tour of the congregation, and share thanks together. For more information contact the Congregation at 781-582-2700.
May we all find time to give thanks daily, and share our thanks together.

Julio Enrique Pa-tron Wong, from the Yucatan Pen-
insula in Mexio, returned to Duxbury after 30 years to attend the Duxbury High School Class of 1979 reunion on Oct. 3.
Wong and his girl-friend had plans to visit the area and upon doing some Internet research, realized his DHS class re-union would be coincid-ing with their trip.
Julio spent his senior year at DHS while living with the Landers family, then of Lover’s Lane.
While in Duxbury, Julio shared his trip down memory lane with his girlfriend, visiting the house he had lived in (the home’s new owner was gracious enough to al-low the couple inside for a visit,) Duxbury High School, the Duxbury Free Library, Duxbury Pizza and the beach. They can’t wait to come back for an-other visit!

Duxbury’s early settlers – the project begins
By lamont “monty” healy
Earlier this year people at the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society suggested that I might be able to help them show the locations of land grants
made to the early Duxbury settlers. The intent is to learn more about our earliest European residents and our town’s place names. I’m a retired land surveyor with 50 years of experience and this seemed like the ideal project for my interests and skills.
The “official” property history of the town begins with the Plymouth Colony Second Land Grant of 1627, even though some people had settled here prior to that date. The Plymouth Colony First Land Division granted “1 acre garden lots” in and around Plymouth.
The Second Land Division was the 1627 Grant in which each person – man, woman and child – received 20 acres (a family of five, for example, would receive 100 acres). An attempt was made to provide each owner with five acres in breadth along the bay, and four acres in depth perpendicular to the shore, with increases in depth as required by the size of the family.
The people who laid out these properties, the “Layers Out,” were William Bradford, Edward Winslow, John Howland, Francis Cooke, Joshua Pratt and Edward Bangs, the leading citizens of the town, possibly assisted by a surveyor. Each of these men received a peck of corn for every share they laid out. These men were given a great deal of latitude, as some properties had more water “frontage” and some had none, and their decisions were final. They were to skip over the poorer land (which became “Common Land”) and the properties were to be laid out prior to a “drawing of the lots.”
The Second Division started at the Eel River (Plymouth) and went north to Plymouth Center, skipping over the First Division and then continued north through what is now Kingston and then “around to the other side of the bay” (Duxbury.)
It should be noted that as of 2009, to the best of my knowledge, no plan or list of these settlers has been found. I believe such a list, or maybe even a plan, does exist in an attic, museum, church or other depository. In the meantime I hope to make use of a “full list of colonists in 1627” (published in The Pilgrim Republic, as well as other places) that lists all the families, their ages, the ships they arrived on and the date of their deaths. Possibly, we can match this list with the known settlers and their property and then work on the others that were left out.
Others have made efforts to define these properties (Henry A. Fish, Dorothy Wentworth, Edwin D. Johnson, the Westons, to name a few) and their work is invaluable to us. It should be noted that the “Duxborrough” records, covering the period 1630-1665, kept by a clerk were lost or destroyed by fire. At this time this looks like a huge jig-saw puzzle, but by plotting out some of the critical deeds, I believe it can be solved.
To provide some insight into different approaches that we may use, in cases where we cannot find any evidence of the original grant, we may be able to use deeds to adjacent land grants to determine abutting owners or who the land was originally granted to. A parcel can also be defined by plotting out later deeds of portions of the property and then piecing them together.
In the course of completing this project, mistakes will be made, so any conflicting research that anyone can provide would add to a more accurate result. If you know something we don’t, please e-mail me at [email protected].

On Oct. 17, over 70 members and friends of Pilgrim
Church (UCC) gathered to walk through Powder Point in support of the hunger relief work of Church World Service. Pilgrim’s inaugural CROP Walk raised nearly $5,000 to provide support and resources for global, national and local hunger relief programs.
Walk co-organizer Lindy Keay was encouraged by the turn out and support for a first time walk: “It was a great day!” she said. “Everyone was very excited to be taking part in such a worthwhile cause. It was wonderful to see it be-come a truly multigenerational event.”
Todd Vetter, Senior Pastor at Pilgrim was enthused by the commitment of the church to support the work of Church
World Service. “They do so much to em-
power local communities to find local solutions to their problems,” he said. “Because they’re so careful with their resources, they think creative-ly about how best to attack the problem of hunger and pov-erty and do far more listening than speaking when they build programs.”
The CROP Walk has a rich history among churches and community groups in the United States. Each year, thousands of walks take place throughout the country in sup-port of Church World Service, an ecumenical organization that has provided relief to impoverished communities throughout the world, from the Gulf Coast of the United States in the aftermath of Hur-ricane Katrina, to Pakistani
and Chinese communities dev-astated by earthquakes and the people of the Indian Ocean in the aftermath of the Christmas tsunami of 2004. In addition to its support of global initiative, Church World Service com-mits 25 percent of all money raised to local hunger relief agencies.

at the scope and breadth of his-torical, cultural and technolog-ical periods represented by the objects, amassed by a passion-ate collector over the course of a lifetime. Artifacts ranging from Corinthian helmets of ancient Greece to ornate suits of armor from the height of the Renaissance give the Cubs an exciting glimpse into the past,
while many informative and entertaining programs helped to interpret the collection in a broad cultural context. The Cub Scouts enjoyed learning about the history of heraldry by decorating shields, lessons in chivalry and sleeping in the midst of the realm of knight-hood.

Alden game night nov. 13
The Alden Elementary School is hosting a Game-wright Game Night on Friday, Nov. 13 in the Alden cafeteria from 6-8 p.m. Families and community members will have the opportunity to play a full selection of Gamewright’s fun and educational table-top games, from best sellers such as Slamwich and Rat-a-Tat to its newest titles, which include Captain Clueless and Hang Four. In addition, Alden El-ementary School will be sell-ing Gamewright games during the event and 50 percent of the profits will go back to support additional programs and ma-terial for Alden Elementary School. For further event de-tails, contact Kelly Leonard at [email protected].
In a time when ev-ery penny counts, the Chandler and Alden
Schools Parent Teacher As-sociations have teamed up to give families the opportunity to determine just how their donations are being spent. The new Grant a Wish program will enable donors to review a list of “wishes” provided by each school’s staff and then decide which, if any, they’d like to support financially.
This new program is a Web-based system that will track the fundraising efforts and will make donating easy, convenient and very personal as families can decide togeth-er what initiatives they want to support. Accessed through the Duxbury School District’s Web site (duxbury.k12.ma.us) and the Chandler PTA Web site (chandlerpta.org), the Grant a Wish site lists all the items and programs that require funding before they can be purchased or instituted in the classroom. Wishes range from special le-vers and handles for the Spe-cial Education team to iPods for enhancing reading skills to author workshops to develop writing skills. Descriptions and benefits of each wish are listed on the site for every-one’s review.
“We’re very excited about this new program and the ben-
efits our schools will reap from it,” said Alden Principal Chris-topher Trombly. “The wishes on the site are innovative, cre-ative and generally fall outside of the traditional school and PTA funding budgets. The Grant a Wish program should provide our teachers and staff additional tools to make learn-ing fun and exciting that oth-erwise might not be available to them.”
The Grant a Wish site will accept donations through the end of this school year in the hope of providing complete funding for each of the wishes currently posted. Each Sep-tember a new set of wishes will be posted after they have been submitted and reviewed to ensure that each is in keep-ing with the current school curriculum and will ultimately enhance the learning experi-ence for students.
To donate, click on the Grant A Wish button located on the Duxbury School Dis-trict Web site or the Chandler PTA Web site. Donations are also being accepted by check through the mail for those without internet access. Ques-tions may be directed to Chan-dler PTA President Heather Fiedler at [email protected] or Alden PTA President Patty Roberts at [email protected].

Learn how nutrition plays a vital role in your child’s behavior and day to day suc-cess, how to navigate your way through the confusing
“all natural”, “organic”, “low sugar” labeling on foods, what to look for on the ingredients labels to make wise deci-sions and some simple strate-gies when teaching your child about healthy food choices

I’m swamped. With an embarrassment of riches for arts, entertainment, culture and

On the other hand, once I found my way back from my own opera week-end, I learned something new about OBTB. Of

Dragons battle for football titleBy mike Halloran sports editor,
When the Duxbury Drag-ons started the season at 0-2, it was easy to make excuses that the team lost so many key players from the 2008 Super Bowl team that a rebuilding year was in the cards. Two months later the team is one win away from the playoffs, and the thought of consecutive Super Bowl appearances isn’t that far-fetched.
After coming from behind twice to beat Hingham, 28-20, on Saturday afternoon, Dux-bury finds itself in the unlikely position of winning the Patriot League title on Friday night if it can beat Scituate in a win-ner-take-all affair at Raymond P. Chandler Field.
Hingham has been a thorn in the side of Coach Dave Maimaron since he took over the program, and it looked like they would be once again when senior running back Anthony Cappella took the opening kick-off 91 yards for a TD that gave the Harbormen a 6-0 lead.
The Dragons knew their options were limited if they wanted to defend their crown, so they wasted little time in answering back. Moving the ball out to the Hingham 48-yard line on five plays, Dux-bury then unleashed its own offensive weapon, as senior captain Bobby Murphy broke through the line and down the left sideline, out-racing the Harbormen’s secondary to tie
the game at 6-6. Junior Ben Startzell was automatic on the conversion and the Dragons were on top by a point.
While the game was expect-ed to be a grind-it-out affair, it turned into a track meet quickly, as senior QB Jake Quinn faked a dive into the line and sprinted to his left, cutting inside the linebacker and racing 83 yards downfield for the go-ahead TD. Cappella took a pitch to his right on the two-point conver-sion and the hosts were back on top at 14-7 less than five min-utes into the game.
The game finally settled down as neither team could do much the rest of the first quar-ter.
Duxbury started the sec-ond quarter back on its own 28-yard line, where junior QB
Kane Haffey engineered a 12-play, 72-yard drive that ended in a tying score. Spotting tight end CJ Cote running through the middle of the Hingham sec-ondary, Haffey threw his pass high and watched the 6’2” se-nior out-leap his defender in the back of the end zone for the score. Startzell’s PAT split the uprights and the game was tied at 14-14 with 3:09 left in the half.
Hingham’s special teams had killed the Dragons all af-ternoon, and they would wound the home team one more time when they returned the kickoff to the Duxbury 27.
Fortunately, the Dragon de-fense stiffened, forcing the Har-bormen to settle for a 30-yard field goal with eight seconds to go in the half and a 17-14 lead.
A nice return by sopho-more Henry Buonagurio brought the ball out to the 42-yard line to start the second half, giving Haffey excellent field position. After two non-descript plays went nowhere, Haffey dropped back to pass and lofted a bomb down the right sideline in the direction of Cote. The senior got his right hand on the ball as he tight-roped along the sideline, tipping it up in the air, and jug-gling it once again as it fol-lowed him down the sideline before it settling into his hands for a 37-yard reception.
After a 12-yard pass from Haffey to junior Matt Hallisey brought the ball down to the nine, Murphy ran it in from

Sunday Salon Series: The Thesaurus
The Duxbury Free Li-brary and Westwinds Book-shop are pleased to present Joshua Kendall, author of the acclaimed book, “The Man Who Made Lists: Love, Death, Madness and the Creation of Roget’s The-saurus.” On Sunday, Nov. 22, at 2 p.m. in the library’s Merry Room, Kendall will discuss his painstaking and extensive research on Dr. Peter Roget’s life and his attempt to divide the world into exactly 1,000 concepts. The New York Times writer Thomas Mallon says, “ If the title of Joshua Kendall’s fine new biography of Roget has a clinical Oliver Sacks feel, the material pretty much justifies it.” Books will be available for purchase and signing. Free tickets will be available at the library and the bookshop two weeks before the event. Seating is limited, so be sure to obtain your ticket for this very spe-cial event. For more infor-mation about this program and other upcoming events, call the library at 1-781-934-2721 x108 or visit duxbury-freelibrary.org and follow the Program Notes Link.

Dragons Fall Sports ScheduleRevised schedule as of November 11
continued from page one
eight yards out for the go-ahead score. Startzell’s PAT proved to be the eventual game-winner, as Duxbury went ahead for good at 21-17 with 7:55 to go in the quarter.
The Dragons had no desire to give back the lead, and it showed in the play of Henry Buonagurio, who stopped Hingham on consecutive plays for no gain. Andrew Buron would take a cue from his classmate and stuff Quinn on a fourth down at-tempt, as Duxbury took over at midfield.
The offense couldn’t take advantage, but Startzell’s punt pinned the Harbormen deep at the 15-yard line. What the offense couldn’t do, the defense could.
On second down from the 13, junior QB Harry Rein threw a backwards pass to Quinn, who was setting up to reload. Quinn couldn’t hold on to the ball and fumbled, drawing a host of Dux-bury defenders who pounced on the loose ball at the one-inch line. Two plays later JB Marston went up the middle for six points in his first game back after missing most of the season. Startzell’s extra point was good and Duxbury had what appeared to be a comfortable 28-17 lead.
Quinn took it upon himself to get his team back in the game and he did it quickly with runs of 15 and 29 yards that had the ball at the Duxbury 15. The defense was up for the challenge and held them to a 28-yard field goal by Quinn to cut the margin to 28-20 with 7:40 left in the game.
Maimaron called for a fake field goal attempt that failed on Duxbury’s next drive, giving Hingham the ball on the 36 with 4:27 left on the clock and a chance to tie. Two plays later junior Adam Martin stepped in front of a Quinn pass and picked it off, taking it down to the Hingham 22 where Adam Kramer recov-ered Martin’s fumble.
What appeared to be a perfect setup for Startzell to kick the game-clinching field goal, suddenly took a bizarre twist, as Haffey went back to pass on third down and was nailed for a 13-yard loss, resulting in a missed 37-yard field goal attempt.
Hingham had one last chance and couldn’t do a thing, turn-ing the ball over on downs and allowing the Dragons to go for the league title on Friday night.

concert talks are free to ticket holders, but this fuller program has a $10 fee. Duxbury’s Will and Pat Sheehan will host the event at the Ellison Center for the Arts on St. George St.
The program includes Leonard Bernstein (On the Town-Three Dance Episodes), Aaron Copeland’s “Appalachian Spring: Suite” (original version), Milhaud’s “Le Boeuf sur le toit” (The Ox on the Roof) and de Falla’s “Ballet Suite: El amor brujo,” (Love, the Magician).
It’s pronounced like “defy ya,” the Spanish double “L” pronunciation. Manuel de Falla y Matheu was a Spanish composer who died in 1946. Peter Gutmann’s on-line notes (from the SSC homework) points out that the literal translation of the piece is “Spell-bound Love.” I can see why. Flamenco is the folk root of de Falla’s piece. In the inexplicable ferocity of the Flamenco dancer’s face lies the secret of de Falla’s ballet, the story of a young widow’s magical effort to free herself from her haunting, betraying husband’s ghost, to free herself for a new love. You’ll recognize de Falla’s “Ritual Fire Dance,” a favorite excerpt for orchestras and pianists.
I talked to Beth MacLeod about the concert. “It’s very exciting,” she said. “Steven and I like to work together. The whole concert is contemporary, and very dramatic. And I’ll be singing in Spanish!”
Beth will sing the vocal parts for the de Falla piece, an intense exploration of passion and love. The Wikipedia resources on the Conservatory’s Web site mention the deep Andalusian roots of the music and the lyrics. Andalusia is the part of Spain known for its fighting bulls, flamenco, and love that burns with raging flames.
Beth told me that the music reminds her of her beloved Carmen, a favorite role. But this music is more direct, sung in Andalusian Spanish and capturing the true heart of Bizet’s masterpiece. Had Bizet been a Spaniard, this is how he might sound.
Here’s the news I mentioned above: if you love opera and singing, you might be able to join Beth and the Opera by the Bay singers. The program gathers a high-quality, audition troupe that rehearses for upcoming performances on Monday and Friday evenings. There is no fee. I repeat: there is no fee. OBTB is a top-quality amateur troupe. Many of its singers are professional musicians, and OBTB rehearses full operas performed without scores. If you think you are ready to take your singing to a new level, call the Conservatory at 781-934-2731, ext. 10 to attend audition for an upcoming performance. But first, enjoy the concert: for tickets call the Phil at 508-746-8008. Passion and love, as Beth described it, right here in Duxbury.

They came into the tour-nament poised and ready to show that they were a team to be reckoned with after go-ing 14-2-2 during the regular season and winning the Patriot League title.
Averaging just under four goals a game, the Lady Drag-ons felt they could stay with the best of them, and that included Walpole and Hopkinton. Hav-ing just lost to the Hillers, 1-0, less than 10 days earlier, the confidence was there, but that frightening offense wasn’t.
Once again they couldn’t find the back of the net on Sunday in Hopkinton and were eliminated from the Division 1 South Sectional quarterfinals by the Hillers, 1-0.
Having beaten #10-seeded Milton on Friday night in Dux-bury by a 2-0 score, the Lady Dragons felt good about their tournament chances, know-ing that the Wildcats had tied Walpole during regular-season play. However, before they could even entertain thoughts of meeting the Bay State League power, they had to get by second seed Hopkinton (16-0-2).
The hosts were ready for
another battle right from the start, as they carried the play for the first 20 minutes before momentum began to turn in Duxbury’s favor before the half ended scoreless.
The Lady Dragons contin-ued to put the pressure on in the second half, but couldn’t put together a serious attack that would test the Hopkin-ton netminder. As their ef-forts continued to be fruitless, it gave Hopkinton a renewed sense of confidence. With 10 minutes left in the game, Hopkinton’s Mallory Bannon, last year’s DII “Player of The Year,” nailed a screamer past Fitzpatrick that found the far corner of the net for the game-winner.
“I’m very proud of the way my players fought and played so hard,” said Coach Pam Manley. “There was no let down in their play at all.”
On Friday night Duxbury got things going early, as se-nior Mimi Smith gave the hosts a 1-0 lead at the 21:45 mark of the first half. Having dominated play in the open-ing minutes of the game, the Lady Dragons earned a corner and capitalized when a series of passes landed on the stick of Lila Haffey, who pushed it over to Smith for what would prove to be the game-winner.
Milton eventually got back on track and made a number of offensive thrusts into the Dux-bury end, but the Lady Dragon defense continued to keep the shots from getting through to goalkeeper Sophie Fitzpatrick
until she was forced to make a big save with less than five minute left in the half to pre-serve the 1-0 lead.
Milton’s momentum car-ried right into the second half, as they opened with a pair of corners in the first minute of play. But Duxbury forced the play back up field and coun-tered with a pair of corners of their own: the second just missing the right post.
It was back the other way three minutes later, and the Lady Dragon defense was forced to weather five con-
secutive Milton corners over a three-minute span and stopped them all from getting through to Fitzpatrick.
Duxbury would get the breathing room it needed four minutes later, when Grace Nissi made a rush down the wing be-fore finding sophomore Molly Zaverucha out in front of Mil-ton goalie Maggie Atkinson, who couldn’t handle Zaveru-cha’s shot, putting the Wildcats behind the eight ball at 2-0.
Milton continued to pound away, but few of their shots seemed dangerous until Fitz-
patrick kicked away a poten-tial goal in the last minute of play to preserve her 13th shut-out of the year.
Duxbury’s elimination marked the end of the high school field hockey careers of seniors Smith, Caitlin Jones, Haffey, Therese Kozmiski, Sami Siciliano, Katie Griffin, Cory Tucker, Cassandra Nissi, Monica Devereaux, Brooke Kent, Chandler Vuilliemier, Kelly Hennessy, Paige Locke, and Julia Hannon.

GaME WiNNER: Duxbury’s Mimi Smith scores the lady Dragons’ first goal during Friday night’s 2-0 win over Milton in first-round action of the Miaa South Sectional tournament.
The DHS boys’ golf team won the 2009 MIAA Division 2 State champi-onship last Tuesday after-noon at the Blackstone Na-tional Golf Club in Sutton. Its two-stroke victory over Sandwich (313-315) was the fourth State title for Coach Jack Stoddard
Junior captain Jonathan Stoddard and James Mag-ner were the stars for the Dragons, as they shot rounds of 72 and 75 respectively, while Billy Curley (82) and Kevin Kuckuk (84) com-pleted the Dragons’ scoring. Stephan Krall (85) and Bob-by O’Brien (86) also repre-sented the Dragons in the best four scores competition
Stoddard’s low round
included five birdies, but it didn’t qualify for the indi-vidual title based on the fact that he did not qualify for the individual title in the South Sectional the previous week at the Easton Country Club. A golfer needed to shoot a 76 to qualify at Easton and Stoddard came in at 77.
“I told these kids when the year started we would need two low scores to win it all and they must have remembered,” said Coach Stoddard.

The fifth-seeded Duxbury boys’ soccer team opened tournament play on Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over 12th seeded Norton in the Di-vision II South Sectional held at DHS.
Both teams played cau-tiously in the first half, as they were both unfamiliar with each other. Despite their cau-tious play, the Dragons carried the action for most of the half while controlling two-thirds of the field.
While the Duxbury de-fense has been stingy all year long, it’s the offense that has sometimes come into question. Making it even more difficult was the fact that the Lanc-ers packed the box with nine players. The strategy seemed
to work, as the game remained scoreless at halftime.
It doesn’t take much for the Dragons to get a win, es-pecially since they registered 10 shutouts during the regular season: four of which were 1-0 victories.
In the 22nd minute of ac-tion Duxbury got their one goal and it held up the rest of the way.
Senior Tommy Drummy controlled the ball from 25 yards out and unloaded a shot on net that hit the crossbar, coming down on the foot of the Norton keeper and bounc-ing into the net for the game-winner.
The Duxbury defense took over from there, holding onto the ball and keeping Norton from registering any kind of offensive attack the rest of the way.
The win advanced the Dragons to last night’s game with fourth-seeded Medway on the road.
The seventh-seeded Lady Dragon soccer team turned on the jets Sunday afternoon in Duxbury, as they pummeled #10 seed Bishop Connolly, 7-1, in the first round of the Division II South Sectional playoffs.
Despite being the defend-ing State champions, Dux-bury’s 14-3-1 record has them down in the seedings, as they get ready to take on the winner
of third-seeded Diman (16-1-1) versus 15 seed Dighton-Rehoboth in quarterfinals ac-tion.
A win by Dighton would make the Lady Dragons’ next game on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in Duxbury, while a victory by Diman would force Coach Emerson Coleman’s team to travel to Fall River.
Melissa Gavin (2), Lily Connolly (2), Caitlin Burke, Emily Gallagher, and Jen Moore took care of the scor-ing for Duxbury, as the starters were out of the game early, al-lowing Coleman to empty his bench.
Lady Dragons open with blowout.

The DBMS high school crew team completed its fall season with a fourth-place finish at the Massachusetts State Championships on Lake Quinsigamond in Octo-ber. The teams’ performance capped a stellar run that saw them take home gold medals for the boys’ and girls’ varsity at Mystic Connecticut, bronze medals for the boys’ varsity at the New Hampshire Champi-onships, the best showing ever by Duxbury at the Textile Re-gatta in Lowell, and the honor of competing at the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, the largest rowing regatta in the world.
State championships were the third race of the season for the Novice team coached by Chris Lee and Philip Hooper. Team members including Ka-tie Connelly, Mary Donovan, Brittany Aylmer, Kelly Julia-no, Victoria Sanchez, Jillian Sylvester, Kelton Vuilleumier, Brooke Withington and cox Gerry Stillman completed their season placing seventh among all public schools in Massachusetts. The boys’ Novice team of Mike Kracov, Steve Kravitz, Gerard Juliano, Pat Gearin, Kyle Archambault, Kyle Jones, Stephen du Mont, Ian Wilson, and cox Sam Wil-liams had their best race of the season, placing second to win silver medals.
Great weather prevailed as the girls’ Varsity team, coached by Marge Vecchi and
Cap Kane, rowed some great races. The Girls 8+ team of Emmi O’Day, Nina West, Marley McDermott, Natalie Bowen, Maggie Hickey, Greer Cully, Michele Segalla, Han-nah Murdock, and cox Kelly McElduff took fifth, moving up two places from last year.
The girls’ Varsity 4+ with Madi Duddy, Kate Denni-son, Maddie Conway, Karli Tobias, and cox Amy Laputz had a strong showing, placing eighth out of 14. Other Varsity rowers representing Duxbury were Emma Therrien, Anna McGeady, Anna Grubb and Kelsea Tower. Brighid Davis and cox Zach Peterson fell ill and were greatly missed.
The boys’ Varsity, coached by Kristen McCarthy, had great results in its last race of the season, while the Boys’ 4+ crew of Buzz Ryan, Nick Tinkham, Mark Passeri, An-drew Whalen, and cox Abby Armstrong started in third and quickly overtook rowing pow-erhouse Wayland-Weston to place second overall.
The boys’ 8+ boat of Ben Potash, Alex Kosharek, Nick Mulone, Sam Habgood, Chris Scavongelli, Davis Muller, Kyle Dame, Jonathan Frye, and cox Caroline Hickey, that was seeded third in the state, blasted second-seed Shrews-bury by 32 seconds and fin-ished only six seconds behind Wayland-Weston for silver medals and a second-place finish.

Duxbury’s freshmen football team kept its un-beaten streak alive at nine games last week with a 22-8 win over Hingham.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Dragons got on the scoreboard late in the second quarter when QB John Geary found Joe Guil-foile for a pair of first downs that set up a 12-yard TD run by Jon Hurvitz. Tucker Han-non added the extra point for a 7-0 lead at the half.
The Dragons recovered a
Hingham fumble early in the third quarter and drove deep into Harbormen territory be-fore CJ LoConte bulldozed into the end zone from three yards out for his first touch-down of the year. Hannon added the extra point to make it 14-0.
Hingham responded im-mediately, taking the ball on its next series and scoring a TD and a two-point conver-sion to get back in the game at 14-8.
The call went out to Hur-vitz on the following drive and he struck again, scam-pering in from 38 yards for his second touchdown of the night and 13th of the season.
He also added the two-point conversion on a run up the middle to make it 22-8.
Hingham wouldn’t quit, as they drove downfield on their next possession and had a first down inside the Drag-ons’ 15-yard line. However, Marshall McCarthy snuffed out the drive by sacking the Harbormen’s quarterback for a 12-yard loss on the fol-lowing play to kill the drive and preserve the victory.
The freshmen team will travel to Scituate on Thurs-day, before returning next Friday to face Marshfield in the season finale.

It was truly a weekend for only the hardiest of New England youth sailors, as Saturday’s “howling” wind from the south switched to a moderate northerly for Sunday, and slowly diminished as the air temperature rose in the early afternoon.
The Newport Race Committee did not disappoint, giv-ing a full racing day to both fleets of 34 Optis and 14 Club 420s before the wind and time limit expired. The two-lap, 30-minute races, with a mix of triangle and windward/lee-ward courses, allowed the top sailors to shine.

Representative Jeff Perry will be discussing his book “My GOP” at upcoming Dux-bury Republican Town Com-mittee meeting.
The premise of the book is that it’s time for Americans to get back to the principles of Ronald Reagan. Like Reagan, citizens are finding reassur-ance in leaders like Perry who soberly assessed the issues that we face. In assessing his own book, Perry reflects on the last two election cycles, and discusses why people don’t change political parties even when they no longer re-flect their own values.
It will certainly be a topic
Independents, Republicans and Democrats find interest-ing.
The Duxbury Republican Town Committee will be hold-ing its next meeting at the Al-den House barn, located at 105 Alden Street, on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. We welcome anyone who is interested in meeting Representative Perry to attend. Refreshments will be served.
For more information, contact Bill Harris at 781-934-8788 or e-mail [email protected].
Senator Perry is currently serving his fourth term as the State Representative for the
5th Barnstable District, Jeff is the Ranking Member of the Committees on Ethics, Edu-cation and Public Safety and Homeland Security.
He also serves as a mem-ber on the House Ways and Means Committee and the Committee on State Adminis-tration. In addition, Jeff serves as the Governor’s Appointee to the Juvenile Advisory Com-mittee and holds a Legislative Appointment to the Correc-tions Advisory Committee.

An opening recep-tion for “On Their Own: Judith Bras-
sard Brown,” a new exhibition at The Art Complex Museum on Alden Street, is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
Brown’s mixed media pieces combine elements of people and places from dif-ferent times and cultures. The Dorchester artist says her work is a response “to the insecurity and crisis now consuming us, worldwide. I see this crisis centering on conflicts between powers over land and re-sources, as pitting one culture against another.” She believes that while people strive for the same qualities in their lives such as religion or cultural be-
liefs, powerful interests work against their desires for a safe environment, clean air and water, and an embracing land-scape to call home.
Her exhibition promises
to be intriguing and thought-provoking. It is scheduled to run from Nov. 15 through Feb. 14.
